Background:
The Contrast Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique that aims to reduce localized adiposity with its heating-cooling-heating method, resulting in a 45% fat loss in the treated area, with no damage to the skin.
Objective:
To investigate the effects of contrast cryolipolysis compared to conventional cryolipolysis on localized adiposity.
Materials And Methods:
This is a case study was carried out with two volunteers. The cirtometry, ultrasonography, and the anthropometric characteristics' analyses of volunteers were performed before and after the intervention. The right flank region underwent conventional cryolipolysis, and the left flank underwent contrast cryolipolysis.
Results:
The procedures performed in both volunteers had positive results. However, the use of Contrast Cryolipolysis promoted greater loss of adipose tissue, reducing perimetry and cirtometry measurements, as well as the adipose tissue thickness, acknowledged via ultrasonography.
Conclusion:
The contrast cryolipolysis promotes greater localized adiposity reduction than the conventional cryolipolysis.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
